MP3: Chris Price "Charge Me Up"
Eighties Kunst: Chris Price
Get out your peepers, square-end neck ties and checkerboard Vans for pop singer Chris Price. The Washington DC based artist flashbacks to the '80s with the nostalgic "Charge Me Up" [MP3 link removed] that is taken from his forthcoming EP "The Identity Crisis." The song is a delicious slice of minimalist '80s electro pop that is reminiscent of late new wavers Human League and New Order.
With today's pop culture full of trivial '80s elements, Price, 27, is one of the few artists that puts his own spin on classic synth pop. Amusing Chris Price tidbit is that he is a great fan of Kirsten Dunst and considered to name his band Dirsten Kunst ('kunst' is German for 'art') as a homage to the actress.

Chris Locke writes about "Indigo Children," a meme reported on by the New York Times. The Indigo idea sounds like it pushes a whole bunch of buttons all at once — New Age, angels, the paranormal, child-worship, ADD. If it had some anti-child-porn hysteria about it, it'd be perfect. As one of the people in the NYT article says, this is basically the same social world view as Harry Potter's muggles v. wizards set up.
Anyway, it is a great example of what Chris has been talking about over at Mystic Bourgeoisie, America's Toughest to Spell weblog

judi - look at the watch, stare at the watch while it swings slowly before you. Listen only to the sound of my voice. You are getting sleepy, very sleepy

Charlene, I am surprised that you did not also mention blogs here both as a way for a professional to market themselves and a way to improve their ranking in the search results. And why not add your blog to your Ziggs profile.
